As it has been mentioned numerous times in the past, we are not the average user. I don't know anyone outside our bubble who would bother running a local LLM, or going into all the trouble building an x8 GPU rig to run one of the biggest models.
Why would non-geeks want to run a local LLM? Electricity prices alone are quite high. Why not pay a subscription on a cloud service and be done with it.
